Guild Wars 2

before serving them to starving-dog classes….because taking them away less than a day later makes for a really salty dog.

normal balance patches are minimal: a few bug fixes, a few inconsequential number tweaks, a couple significant changes, and the rare game-changer. it’s amazing how quickly the “non-number tweaks” get taken back, without letting the external players work through them for a week or two (while other obviously OP changes remain for months).

it happens way too often for how rarely we get balance changes. how long are things internally tested? is it simply rushed?

if balance was iterated more often (6-8 times a year, instead of 3-4), this wouldn’t be nearly the issue it is.

pls test/iterate more.

Honestly with everything in flux the game really is just HoT beta at the moment. I’m not complaining though, I’d rather this stuff get out there so people can really dig in and find the trouble spots before the launch.
